Currently, the BDE page lists type 1 as the absence of, or a state of existence outside of, time and space, without qualitative superiority over them. This grants resistance to space-time manipulation, as well as type 1 acausality, as being unbound from time would logically make them unaffected by alterations to the past.
The issue here, of course, is that we have no reason to assume that being literally unbound from time only applies to the past; "Time" encompasses the future as well as the past, so unless we have reason to assume otherwise, someone who is absent of or beyond time would logically exist outside the future as well. That would be type 4 acausality, not type 1.
Another issue is how the page seemingly treats type 2 as space-time immunity but not type 1 (though this could just be a misunderstanding on my part). We give immunity to manipulation of something if the target lacks the thing being manipulated (eg; soulless beings being immune to soulhax), so why do we not give immunity to beings with no presence in space-time to affect at all?
TL;DR: Type 1 BDE needs to give type 4 acausality and immunity to space-time hax, not type 1 and resistance.
